Justin Bieber is facing backlash after the GQ Men of the Year event, where he arrived with his wife, Hailey. A clip from their arrival has become viral, and it has sparked the long-running online debate about the couple’s public dynamic. The Love Yourself singer has been accused of leaving his wife behind at various events, and he might have done it again. Many fans interpreted the sequence as Justin leaving Hailey to handle the paparazzi on her own.
Fans call out Justin Bieber after recent event
The clip of Justin Bieber that has caused backlash sees him stepping out of the car with two other men and running inside. After that, Hailey carefully crawls out from the back of the car and steps down alone, making her way towards the event.
Reaction to the clip called out Justin’s behavior and said it was disrespectful. They urged him to walk with his wife. One user on Reddit wrote, “This sucks to look at, like it just comes off so disrespectful and weird,” while another said, “bro walk with your wife.”
The backlash was more about how Justin’s manners were towards Hailey. One user wrote, “I get you’re a celebrity and there’s tons of paparazzi, but would it kill to even acknowledge your wife?” Another said, “Be a man! Help your wife! Hold her hand!”
As for Hailey, this is not the first time she has been at a crossroads while her husband Justin faced online backlash. She has constantly been trying to tell people that what they see online is very different from what happens in real life. The singer is also trying to counter the narrative by including loving lyrics about Hailey on his 2025 album, Swag. Despite all of that, fans are now debating online whether Justin loves Hailey or not.
Not everyone agreed on the meaning of the clip and argued that it showed a hectic red carpet moment. They felt that running to avoid the crowd does not necessarily mean disrespect. However, the dominant reaction on social media sees Justin in hot water right now.
